30116pb03, Panel 14x14x2.667 with Millennium Falcon Pattern - Daniel Goerner - 2012-03-14
Can someone please check these files if I have overseen anything? Edger2 says the subfile is okay, but who knows?
Maybe some advice what I could do better (sorting the colors or whatever). And any help with the Header would be appreciated (Filename, Tags maybe?)...

When did I make that "without faces" subpart? 8 years ago? And you beat me to this pattern. lol. Good job man!

Very good job indeed!

How did you do projection on surface? Using Slicerpro? then maybe playing a bit with "precision" and/or unification thresholds would have eliminated some of the issues from the start?

That must have happened after I used Slicerpro. Before using it everything was alright.

Most can be split into appropriate triangles to solve the problem .

I now used Datheader on the original Patterm, before projecting it. 6 Errors remain:

I think there are vertexes placed on top of each other. But I don't know how to find, correct or eliminate them.

Yes, i used Slicerpro. Very cool tool. I made the part with stickers (using Sticker Generator) before and it was torture to place them right. I'll try to play around with the settings tomorrow.

Quote:That must have happened after I used Slicerpro. Before using it everything was alright.Yes, there are some less-than-perfect things in Slicerpro, and sometimes it easts a triangle or two... I have a slightly better version than the one on my website, but not yet published since some problems remain.
Quote:I now used Datheader on the original Patterm, before projecting it. 6 Errors remain:Here too I may be the culprit. LPC uses a slightly modified version of Rectifier to assemble triangle pairs into to quads. The first 5 errors with very flat angle quads should not happen (except if the triangles in your pattern had very flat angle). The last problem comes from a very sharp angle triangle that you created in your pattern (needle shaped triangle). This should be avoided, there are generally ways of organizing triangles differently to avoid this.
Coud you share the .lpc file of your pattern? (rename it to .txt so that it's accepted on the forum, or email it directly to me...)
Re: 30116pb03, Panel 14x14x2.667 with Millennium Falcon Pattern - Daniel Goerner - 2012-03-15
You've got mail.
Oh, and Chris, if you're reading this, could you give me a partno. for this?
Re: 30116pb03, Panel 14x14x2.667 with Millennium Falcon Pattern - Daniel Goerner - 2012-03-15
Short question: Can I split a quad into two triangles again, and if so, how?
Re: 30116pb03, Panel 14x14x2.667 with Millennium Falcon Pattern - Philippe Hurbain - 2012-03-15
Yes, with a text editor... For example:
Code:
p1 p2 p3 (too flat angle) p4
4 6 23.86372 0 -160.7092 48.374 0 -174.727 47.547 0 -171.369 46.777 0 -168.254Code:
p1 p2 p3
3 6 23.86372 0 -160.7092 48.374 0 -174.727 47.547 0 -171.369
p3 p4 p1
3 6 47.547 0 -171.369 46.777 0 -168.254 23.86372 0 -160.7092Code:
p2 p3 (too flat angle) p4
3 6 48.374 0 -174.727 47.547 0 -171.369 46.777 0 -168.254
p4 p1 p2
3 6 46.777 0 -168.254 23.86372 0 -160.7092 48.374 0 -174.727Of these two possibilities, the 1st one is the right since it splits in half the very flat angle.
Re: 30116pb03, Panel 14x14x2.667 with Millennium Falcon Pattern - Travis Cobbs - 2012-03-15
Doesn't LDDP have a command to split a quad into two triangles?
Re: 30116pb03, Panel 14x14x2.667 with Millennium Falcon Pattern - Philippe Hurbain - 2012-03-15
Travis Cobbs Wrote:Doesn't LDDP have a command to split a quad into two triangles?No, it's the other way around (merge 2 triangles into 1 quad). Splitting poses a UI problem (especially at text level) since there is a choice to do between the two possible splits...
